Stonewall Circle

Join the Stonewall Circle in support of the exhibit “Rise Up: Stonewall and the Gay Rights Movement”

The Stonewall Circle is a group of individuals who take an interest in the Newseum’s efforts to explore the history of gay rights. These donors share the Newseum’s belief that the history of the gay rights movement is a vital American story that deserves to be told through a comprehensive exhibit and programming, and they support that belief through financial contributions and advocacy.
